Hey, I'm not an idiot. I was on the run too, you know.
LincolnYeah, you were on the run. And you got caught.
Yeah, well I'm sorry I'm not a pro at being a con like you, dad!
LincolnI saw you checking out those girls back at the diner.
What?
LincolnC'mon. 'fess up.
I was just making sure they weren't staring at us.
LincolnWith what? Their asses? Beautiful girls in Panama. They love Americans.
Cool.
LincolnSo, how long have you known about girls?
Long enough.
LincolnSince when?
13
Lincoln13. With who?
Donna Ensalmy
LincolnShe was the kid next door. She was about f-
Four years older than me?
LincolnYour mom was paying her for French lessons.
Well, she earned the money.
LincolnLincoln Junior.
You named him after yourself.
LincolnI wasn't going to name him "Aldo".
LincolnWhat about your friend out there?
If we're gonna go down, might as well go down swinging.
Turn around. TURN AROUND!
If you're gonna murder us Alex, you have to look us in the eyes while you do it.
Shut up.
LincolnYou want me, you got me. Let my brother go!
I don't want either of you. I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK!
You'd kill two innocent men to get it, huh?
Absolutely.
You know we have no idea what's behind that door?
LincolnNope... you ready?
No, you?
LincolnNo.
Let's go.
LincolnYou know about this?
[about Michael] Not until it came out of his mouth.
[in a televised statement] In the best interest of this country effect of immediately, I am stepping down as president of the United States.
LincolnShe ain't the president, the tape's useless.
She can't pardon anyone.
LincolnWe've got nothing.
There's only thing we can do. We've got to disappear... forever.
LincolnHow much further?
Not far.
LincolnYou know, for what it's worth, no one forced Sara to do what she did.
Whatever gets you through the night.
LincolnWhat the hell does that mean? I didn't ask you to use her.
It's not that simple.
LincolnWhatever gets you through the night, buddy.
You know what amazes me, Linc? Nothing ever registers with you. Ever. Just rolls right off your back, doesn't it? We ruined Sara's life and it's like you don't even care.
LincolnIs that what you think?
Well, we're here, and Sara's back there in prison. Does that seem fair to you?
LincolnNone of it's fair. Just don't make this about boy loses girl.
Who should it be about, Linc? Westmoreland? Tweener? LJ?
LincolnLet me stop you right there.
Do you remember the name of the guard that was murdered because of the riot I started?
LincolnShut up, Michael.
Do you even remember his name? I bet you remember Veronica's name, though, don't you?
LincolnYou mention her name again, I swear to God...
What about T-Bag!? Linc, he's out there now, because of us! You and me! Every life he takes, that's blood on our hands. And for what?
LincolnI didn't ask you to do what you did.
They were gonna kill you, Linc!
LincolnWell, maybe you should've let them!
Take that back.
LincolnHe didn't answer.
I certainly hope your brother makes it back to that boat.
LincolnAnd if he doesn't? You should see yourself. You look like you're hanging in there by a thread.
I just want this over with.
LincolnThen you should never have come down here. In case you hadn't noticed, me and my brother don't quit for no one.
Thank God for that. Because it's guys that are accused of things like you were that keep guys like me in business... Kept... guys like me in business, rather.
LincolnIt's gonna end bad for you, man. Couple of things in this world I'm good at. One of them is looking into a man's eye and knowing when he's beat.
[over phone]
Linc?
LincolnI'm sorry, Michael.
What's wrong?
Hello, Michael.
If you touch my brother, you're a dead man.
Oh, please. You don't have to worry about that. But, when it comes right down to it, he's just like you. He has a heart that won't kill a man.
[Camera reveals Lincoln in handcuffs]
What do you want Alex?
I'll tell you exactly what I want. But first things first. When the authorities captured Bagwell today, the money was nowhere to be found. Now, I can only assume... that you've got the money... aboard the Christina Rose, right now. It's an amazing plan, Michael. Take the money, take the boat, disappear forever. But you... are not the only one that needs to disappear. You still there?
Yeah, I'm still here.
Good. Because I'm gonna say this and I'm gonna say this once. Bring me the money, bring me the boat.
You are out of your mind.
Not really. We both have something the other person needs. It all comes down to this, Michael. Your brother for your plan. Five minutes, that's all you have.
LincolnHow's it feel being on the run?
I'll survive.
LincolnNot if they catch you. They'll send you to the chair.
Do you think that's ironic?
LincolnThat'd be justice.
We did it, Linc. We did it.
LincolnYeah.
No. [camera shows him on dock, pointing gun at them] You almost did it.
LincolnYou want the money?! [throws bag on ground] Take the money. Take it.
You think this is about the money? [kicks bag into water] Pocket change like $5 million?
Then what is it about? My brother's been exonerated. The President stepped down. We're not a threat anymore. It's over.
You may be done with us, but that doesn't mean we're done with you. The police are on there way.
LincolnIt started with me. Let my brother go.
Oh, that's sweet. That's sweet. You don't hear that much anymore, that sort of fidelity in families. Two brothers that'll go to to the ends of the earth for each other. Too bad only one of you will survive.
Don't!
[Gunshot, Kim falls in water, camera shows Sara shot him, they hear sirens in distance]
We got to go.
What did you buy?
Lincoln...Supplies...
Who am I going to tell, honestly?
LincolnYou could be a Russian spy for all I know!
Show me the pictures Linc.
LincolnI can't show you the pictures, man.
Why not Linc?
LincolnShe's dead Michael. I lied to you, I'm sorry.
LincolnMicheal we got to do this.
